Maryland-Baltimore County designated hitter Ian Glassman singled home the winning run off Tulane reliever D.J. Ponder in the ninth inning as the Retrievers prevailed 3-2 on Saturday to even the three-game series at one game each.

After eight strong innings, Jones allowed starter David Napoli (3-1) to return to the mound for the ninth inning. He allowed a leadoff single to Brian Klukowicz, then retired the next batter when first baseman Tucker Oakley made a spectacular diving catch of a popped-up bunt. But Oakley tried to double up the runner at first and threw wildly, advancing pinch-runner Mike Lafferty to scoring position.

“When we catch the pop-up bunt and they still get to move the runner, that one hurt because you look like you might have the double play there, but it didn’t happen,” Jones said

“It definitely felt good that he trusted me enough to go back out there, but next time I have to do a better job of getting my fastball inside,” Napoli said. “My curveball was working pretty well. I think I only threw a few for balls today. My changeup worked pretty well, but I just couldn’t get the ball inside and that’s where I struggled.”

“He was hitting his spots,” Tulane left fielder Frank Florio said. “I have to give them a lot of credit. He was working the corners and give us a good mix, but there’s no doubt in my mind that we’re a better hitting club and that and we just didn’t show up today.”
